Author's note: The reason why I called the shipping related to as Female Mandarin X Shigaraki is because I didn't think of what should be her name until the moment to write her has arrived. And why did I brought up only Iron Man? Because in the prime universe and the MCU, he revealed who he is to the world. So for the other quirkless heroes such as Ant-Man and the Wasp, they are just vigilantes as far as the public concerned, let alone know that they are actually quirkless. But how did Iron Man managed to become one of the pro-heroes despite the fact that he started his career as a hero very late? It's simple. He has proven himself time and time again and gained enough popular support from the public despite some criticism about him being quirkless and the source of the rise of the new type of villains. Yes, the public is divided when it comes to the opinions about Iron Man. Some will support him while some will called him out instead. Just like in the real world. The people who supported him are mainly those who are quirkless, having weak or the seemingly villainous quirks while those who criticized him are those with strong quirks. As for the Hulk and the other Gamma mutants, their way of gaining "quirks" through radiation is considered to be too dangerous because it can ended up either killing people or causing them to go on rampages like those Gamma mutants such as the Hulk. And in case you guys are wondering why the usurper who usurped the position as the leader of the Ten Rings Sect did not call himself as the Mandarin but as the Grand Elder instead is because the title of Mandarin is usually reserved only to the members of the Mandarin's family while the position of the Grand Elder can be used by anyone who has been deemed fit to lead the sect. But in the recent genertions, both titles have been used exclusively by the members of the Mandarin's family. By the way, the result of voting poll is a tie at the moment. So I think I will keep this going for at least another week before ending the voting poll. But really, if it remained as a tie like this. Then I will have no other choice but to declared that tie as null and void so that I can change the name of this story to New Age of Ignorance because personally, I like this one more. And plus, I gave you guys a chance already about this matter.

Chapter 3 Black Knight Vs Black Spectre
A few days have passed after Izuku joined the League of Villains as Black Knight. When he told his ancestor, Sir Percival, about this. He was mad at Izuku at first but when he told him of what he has been through and how much corrupted the Hero Society is, Sir Percival laughed before telling him that this is not the first time he has heard of such a thing from one of his descendants. Apparently, he has heard this kind of thing before from his descendant who happened to be a Crusader who was in the service of King Richard the Lionheart of England, who told him that the knights of his days and the knights of Sir Percival's days are completely different from one another because the knights of his days are nothing but the vicious and cruel thugs. When Izuku asked who's the one who told him such a thing, Sir Percival merely told him "only when he's ready to meet him when he will appear before him" to the boy. And once they were done with the talk related to the the corrupted societies, Sir Percival told him about his steed, Aragorn, the winged white horse that he and all of his descendants who assumed the mantle of Black Knight have ridden when they were alive.
"Can you tell me where the horse is?"Asked Izuku, who's still in his pajamas, as Sir Percival is standing before him with the Ebony Blade being stabbed on the ground.
"No need to find him, boy. He will find you. And once you've proven yourself to him, he will come to you."Said Percival
"Then how can I prove myself to him? Didn't being chosen as the wielder of the Ebony Blade by you is enough to him?"Asked Izuku
"The sword knows that you have a noble heart since you and the sword are linked, Izuku Midoriya. But Aragorn does not. So you have to prove yourself to him. And once you did, only then you can ride him."Said Percival and then, he retreats back into the Ebony Blade.
"But... how can I prove myself to him now that I'm a villain?!"Asked Izuku and with that, he puts the Ebony Blade into the scubbard given to him by Kurogiri a few days after he joined the League. Then, he picked up his smartphone and use it to check the news like he used to do in the morning ever since he joined the League. As usual, the news about his disapperance is still quite a hot topic on the media. When he first saw it a few days after he decided to become a villain, he knew it for sure that his mother not only found his note but also filed the case to the police as well. So ever since he has been declared as the missing person by the authorities, he knew that he has to be careful whenever he left his apartment's room that All For One given to him and the League's hideout. Once he's done checking the news, he has the smartphone recharged while go to take a shower in the bathroom. By the time, he's done taking shower and changing his outfit from the pajamas to his new regular clothing, which is a white shirt, formal black coat, green fedora, black trousers, black gloves and a green tie, which were offered to him by Kurogiri. Once done, he grabs the sheathed Ebony Blade, hang it by the belt and cover it with the coat. Then, he leaves his apartment and goes out for a walk while also thinking of how can he prove himself to Aragorn now that he is a villain. As he continued to walk, a 68 ft. tall blonde woman in purple and pale tan-colored skintight bodysuit that is accented with orange stripes with purple gloves and purple boots suddenly fell down on the street near him and the others. When Izuku takes a closer look he realized that the women is actually Mount Lady!
"Ouch..."Groaned Mount Lady as she's still lying on the ground as the people are beginning to form a crowd around her while also taking out the smartphone, ready for what will happen next.
Suddenly, a man in red jumpsuit and white skull mask and white bulletproof vest suddenly landed before her, thus scaring and dispersing the crowd. He is the villain known as the Looter, wanted for many successful bank robberies by using his quirk that given him super strength. Judging from the situation, Mount Lady and the Looter were fighting each other and the Looter most likely grab her when she attempted to defeat him by using one of her enlarged hands and threw her from where they were earlier and she ended up landing here.
"How's that for the "Loser", Scout Lady?"Asked The Looter as Mount Lady is getting up.
"It's Mount Lady for you!"Said Mount Lady before she slams her right fist onto him. But like the previous time, he caught her again with his super strength.
"It appears that someone never learn."Said The Looter and this time, he throws her to hit the nearby building, scaring many people to get out of the way in the process. But just as soon as he turned around after he threw her there, he is taken by surprise with a slap from Mount Lady, who pretended to be knocked out, as soon as he turned his back on her with her right hand. The slap sent him to fly hit a nearby car, crashing it and knocking him out in the process. And with that, most of the civilians who've seen the whole fight cheer for her success, leaving only a few who does not and two happened to be Izuku while another one is the businessman whose car has been crashed by the villain after being sent to hit it by the slap from Mount Lady.
"MY CAR!"Yelled The Businessman who's standing near the car that the villain crashed into earlier.
"Oops..."Said Mount Lady as she's getting up. Once she gets up, she begins to shrink down to the normal size and go to pick the unconscious villain up as the police cars are arriving. After that, she hands over the Looter to the cops, telling the businessman whose car has been destroyed to contact the number she given him to claim the insurance and go back on patrol. After the whole incident, the crowd dispersed, leaving Izuku to think of two things alone. The first one is should he prove himself to Aragorn just like how the pro-heroes save the others while the second one is that no matter how many times he has seen Mount Lady, she always looked so familiar to him. It was like that he saw her somewhere else before but not as Mount Lady.
"Hmm..."Groaned Izuku as he continues his walk while also thinking on these two matters at the same time. But particularly the first one is what he is primiarily thinking about. Unbeknownst to him, a white winged horse is standing on top of a building two kilometers away from where he is. The winged horse is actually Aragorn, the immortal mount that has been ridden by many Black Knights throughout the centuries. For now, he is quite disappoited that the green-haired descendant did not go into action and stop the Looter. However, that didn't make him wanting to give up on the boy. He then spreads his wings and fly into the sky, continuing to following him to see more of the new wielder of the Ebony Blade. Eventually, Aragorn found Izuku's entering a place called Stan Lee's Hot Dogs, it's a small hot dog's restaurant that served variety of hot dogs that is being ran and owned by an elderly American man named Stan Lee, after he walked futher for a few more blocks.
Meanwhile, Mount Lady is still continuing her patrol but quickly stopped when an armored vehicle nearly rammed into her. Luckily, she jumped out in time. However, the incident caught the attentions of everyone in the area. As the female blond size-changing pro-hero is getting up, four individuals get out from the armored truck. Two from the front and other two from the back of the vehicle. The first one is a large man in black hooded cloak and a white hockey mask and the second one is a man who is covered in black straitjacket that only shows his mouth are coming out from the front seats. The third individual is a woman who appeared to be an albino African in black dress while the forth individual is a humanoid mandrill in blue shirt, black pants and red cape. Their names are Muscular, Moonfish, Nekra and Mandrill.
"She's getting up, boss. Can I kill her?"Asked Muscular as he's still keeping his eyes on Mount Lady.
"No. I wanted her alive."Said Mandrill as he's walking toward her while beginning to use his quirk, thus releasing his pheromones on Mount Lady. As soon as she inhaled it, she begin to feel sleepy and then fall asleep.
"Psst! You and your endless lust!"Muttered Muscular as Mandril is standing before the sleeping Mount Lady.
"Now, get up."Said Mandrill and with that, Mount Lady opened her eyes, revealing that they are glowing yellow and stand up.
"Come with us."Said Mandrill and once he gave the order, she followed him back to the armored vehicle, much to the shock of the people who are still in the area.
"Hey, can I stay here for a while? I didn't get to bust some skulls for like in a while!"Said Muscular and with that, Mandrill turned to look at him.
"Since you know the way back to our hideout, suit yourself."Said Mandrill as he's getting into the driving seat while Moonfish, Nekra and Mount Lady get into the back of the truck. And with that, they drive off and heading back to their hideout, leaving Muscular alone to have fun with the defenseless civilians.
"HEHEHE! This is so going to be so fun!"Said Muscular as he's approaching the nearest group of civilians while taking off his hooded cloak and hockey mask, revealing that is a blonde man with a missing left eye and a large scar on the left side of his face in sleeveless red shirt and black pants with black jacket's handing around his waist. But before he could reach them, he is suddenly being tangled by the wooden branches from behind. When he looked back, he found that he is being captured by a pro-hero in dark blue bodysuit with wooden belt known as Kamui Woods and standing near him is another pro-hero in a costume similar to that of a ninja known as Edgeshot.
"Surrender! Now!"Said Edgeshot
"LET'S NOT!"Yelled Muscular and then, he activated his quirk, amplifying his own muscle fibers and breaking himself out from Kamui Woods' grasp! He then quickly grabs Kamui Woods' extended wooden arms and violently pull him toward him and punch himin the stomach, sending him flying back toward Edgeshot. The Ninja Hero immediately activates his own quirk and transform himself into the red razor-sharp strings while jumping toward the large villain. But due to Muscular's quirk, he can move swiftly and get out of the way before Edgeshot could get to him. Edgeshot then transformed back into his human form. Once he is transformed back, Muscular suddenly appeared behind him and grab him at the head and hit him on the street. The defeats of two pro-heroes spread fear among the civilians who are still in the area. When Muscular is about to deliver a finishing blow to the Ninja Hero, he heard the sirens from the police cars are approaching. Soon, a number of police cars arrived and the cops began to open fire on Muscular to prevent him from killing Edgeshot.
In the meantime, at Stan Lee's Hot Dogs...
"Hmm. How can I save lives of others, let alone prove myself to Aragorn, now that I'm a villain?"Thought Izuku as he's eating his breakfast, which is a danger dog with cheese that served with fries. He then looks up at the flat screen television that is hanging on the ceiling on his left, which is showing the news about a rampage of a villain known as Muscular.
"I remembered that guy! He's the reason why I have only one arm left!"Said One-Arm Customer, who's sitting near Izuku on his left while also using his right arm, which is the only arm that he has left, to eat a cheese dog and some onion rings. He's wearing a white shirt, dark blue jeans and light green sneakers.
"Was he really that bad?"Asked Izuku, wanting to know more about Muscular, as he's turning to look at the custumer who only has his right arm.
"Yeah, Goto Imasuji, calling himself Muscular, is one of the biggest and baddest villains that Japan have ever seen. He was the one who killed two pro-heroes known as Water Hose and he also has a twisted sense of might makes right."Said One-Arm Customer
"Twisted sense of might makes right?"Asked Izuku, beginning to fear and hate this villain more and more.
"Well, it's work like this, kid. In his view, those who he defeated are wrong while he are the right one. Of course, it can worked vice-versa. But so far, I never saw or heard of his defeat like at once."Said One-Arm Customer
"Thank you for telling me this so that I can... avoid him. But... how did you so much about him?"Asked Izuku
"He and I, we used to go to the same school back when we were kids."Said One-Arm Customer as he's finishing his cheese dog. And once the cheese dog is gone, he continued to eat the remaining onion rings in the dish. As he's preoccupied with his own foods,
Izuku paid for his breakfast and leave the restaurant while its owner, Stan Lee, is collecting the money that he left behind.
"Come again, kid! My place has the best hot dogs in town! Excelsior!"Said Stan Lee as he's collecting the money Izuku left behind as the payment for his breakfast. Once outside, he rushes into the alley, pull the Ebony Blade out of its scubbard and say the magic word.
"Avalon."Said Izuku and then, he is encased inside the grey mail armor, black brigandine, black helmet, blue cape, black gloves and black boots. Now equipped with an armor, a cape and a sword, Izuku Midoriya has become the Black Knight. Then, he contacted Kurogiri and asked him to send him to where the fight between the pro-heroes and Muscular is happening right now. Soon, a swirl of dark fog appeared before him and Izuku walks into it. When he comes out, he found himself standing behind the crowd and he can see through the glimpse that Muscular is picking one of the police cars up into the air and throw it to Kamui Woods, who has already get up after being punch in the stomach by the villain earlier. Lucky for him, he reacted in time and grab the carn and gently put it down. However, that leave him open for an attack from Muscular, who is running toward to punch him again. But before the villain will get to him, a crescent-shaped orange energy blade suddenly landed between them and cause a small explosion that caught Muscular's attention. When he and everyone else, the pro-heroes and the police officers included, turned to look at the source, they see a young man in medieval black armor with a sword is standing within the crowd. Then Black Knight walks out and reveal himself to the world.
"WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!"Asked Muscular
"I'm Black Knight, the warrior who is going to take you down!"Said Black Knight and with that, Muscular immediately runs toward him to punch him in the face. But the knight's simply get into the position, ready for the incoming attack. When Muscular gets near him, Black Knight takes a step forward and swing the Ebony Blade in his hands toward him. Suddenly, brief clash happened and once that happened, it is nothing but a moment of silence with no movement because the crowd, the cops and the two injured pro-heroes are looking at the entire scene in shock! After a moment of silence and nothingness, Muscular suddenly falls down to the ground with his face slam down on the street. He's still alive, however, judging from the groaning sound that's coming from him. With his opponent is defeated and everyone is safe, Black Knight begins to walk away where there is no crowd of people's blocking him. However, this is not the end of the incident.
"STOP!"Yelled Kamui Woods
"I know, I know. I committed vigilantism and you two are going to arrest me for that charge alone."Said Black Knight as he's continuing to walk away from them, showing no care that they are going to arrest him for vigilantism or not.
"Then just surrender and we won't do anything to you."Said Edgeshot as he's approaching the Black Knight in an attempt to arrest him.
"You may try..."Said Black Knight and with that, Edgeshot transformed him into red razor-sharp strings and launched himself toward the young man in the black armor while Kamui Woods extended his wodden right arm toward him. However, Black Knight simply turned around and use his sword to fire dark yellow energy at them! This stop both pro-heroes in an instant as they are being forced to get out of the way! When the blast hits a street, it created a scorch mark on the ground. With everyone, including the heroes and the police officers, are shocked at what the just saw while also looking at the scorch mark, Black Knight seized the moment and quickly run away into the nearest alley to hide from everyone. After taking a rest after the whole incident, he heard the breathing behind his back. So he turned around and found a white winged horse is standing behind him!
"Are you-"Said Black Knight but suddenly, Aragorn lowers his head down while also spreading his front legs, bowing down to him with respect.
"What the heck?!"Asked Black Knight and suddenly, Sir Percival comes out of the sword and appear before Izuku.
"If you're wondering, boy. Yes, he is Aragorn."Said Percival
"Oh wow! I can't believe it!"Said Black Knight as he's raising his left hand to touch him at the snout. Aragorn allows him to and then, his new rider's hand and his snout have finally touched one another.
"You came to defend those people from a vicious killer whether they needed help from you or not. That alone is enough to convince him you indeed have a noble heart and is worthy enough to ride on his back."Said Percival
"Thank you for accepting me, Aragorn."Said Black Knight and then, Aragorn lets out a small whinny sound.
"Now that you have a mount. Your duty as the Black Knight will be a lot easier. Not only that he will always help you in any situation he can but he is also extremely intelligence. So that means he can understand what you said."Said Percvial
"Really?! Can he really understand what am I saying?!"Asked Black Knight
"Definitely. Even more, he also has a very sharp vision and great sense of smell."Said Percival
"He must be quite a magnificent horse, isn't he?"Asked Black Knight as he's rubbing the white winged horse's mane.
"Indeed. He has survived many conflicts with me and many of my descendants. Now, are you ready to ride him, boy?"Asked Percival and that caught his descendant's attention.
"I can... ride him?"Asked Black Knight
"Kid, what else can he be used for?"Asked Percival in the sarcastic tone while also rolling his eyes.
"Okay..."Said Black Knight with uncertainty in his voice and he slowly begin to climb on Aragorn's back. Then, Aragorn begins to slowly spread his wings while beginning to run to the other side of the alley. Before he will reach the exit,
Aragorn suddenly flaps his wings and then he takes Izuku with him high in the sky! As Aragorn's flying higher, his new rider is also screaming to the top of his lungs as well!
"AAAAAHHHHH!"Screamed Black Knight as he's closing his eyes while also holding on to Aragorn's mane tightly like his life is depending on it, which is actually appeared to be the case because if he lets go, he will fall and he won't survived that for sure if he fell from Aragorn's back.
And soon, all of the harsh and rogue flying suddenly comes to an end and replaced by the smooth and mellow flight instead. When he opened his eyes, he found himself riding Aragorn above the clouds with the sun is right above his head. He looks around at the scenery nad while it may not be the most beautiful scene since it's not when the sun is setting, it's still quite amazing nonetheless!
"With you, pal. I think I can... rescue..."Said Izuku and that's when a realization hits him hard. It's Mount Lady! He has to rescue her from a group of villains!
"Mount Lady! I have to find her and rescue her from the hands of that monkey-faced guy and his group!"Said Black Knight and with that, Aragorn lets out the whinny sound and fly down into the clouds and heading down into the city below. They then begin to look around for an armored vehicle used by Mandrill and his group. After they are looking down on the streets below them for sometime, they finaly spotted the white armored vehicle that they've been looking for. But to know for sure, they have to get a closer look at the armored truck. So they fly down to the vehicle and landed on the street. Once landed, Black Knight begins to ride his winged horse after the armored truck. This ended catching the attention of some of the occupants in the truck, who are turned out to be Mandrill, Nekra and Moonfish.
"Moonfish, get rid of the pests!"Said Nekra and with that, Moonfish gets up the back of the armored truck, which is full of many young women and teenage girls with Mount Lady is being one of them, and go to the back door of the truck. Once he bumbed the door open, he used his quirk and unleashed the enlarged and reshaped teeth from his mouth on Black Knight and Aragorn. Seeing an incoming attack, Aragorn quickly flies up high into the sky, letting Moonfish's enlarged and reshaped teeth to smashed into the ground. After seeing no more enemies, he retracted his teeth back into his mouth and return to his seat. Unbeknownst to them, Black Knight and Aragorn are secretly following them back to their hideout by flying. Thirty minutes later, their truck finally stopped at an abandoned warehouse and they begin to unload the women and the girls into the warehouse. Once they are all inside their warehouse, Black Knight and his mount landed on the roof before their hideout.
"Wait for me here."Said Black Knight and with that, he gets down from Aragorn's back and begin to walk toward to one of the glasses on the rooftop. Once there, he looks down and seeing many young women and teenage girls are standing still like the statues. Then, he looks to the three villains he came to take down, who are standing near them while also doing something like checking each of them out. He then sees Mount Lady is standing among many other women as well but he also spots some teenage girls in the line as well. Among them is a girl with blue hair in U.A's student uniform. Curious to know what are they planning, he turned back to his winged steed, get on his back and order him to take him to the ground. Once there, Black Knight sneaks inside through one of the warehouse's windows to begin the rescue operation. As he's getting closer, he can hear two of them are talking to one another louder.
"So tell me, big bro. When will we begin the attack on the city by using those ladies and the female pro-heroes you put under your control?"Asked Nekra
"Once I have enough women in my organization, we can begin the attack on the city! For now, we need to find more to amass our army, especially from those who are pro-heroes. The more of them participated in the attack, more images of heroes will be ruined!"Said Mandrill
"And this corrupted Hero Society that ruined our lives will crumbled when the heroes that the people always looked up to turned around and attack them! Oh, Big Brother Mandrill! I always love this part of your plan!"Said Nekra
"And so am I, Nekra. And when that happened, we will finally have our revenge for the mistreatments that we received!"Said Mandrill and when Izuku heard that, he cannot help but feel a little connected.
"They're just like me and those who're part of the League..."Thought Black Knight as he's beginning to understand why Mandrill and Nekra are doing what they're doing. Like him being looked down upon for being quirkless and a member of the League known as Invisible Wall, who has the appearance of a humanoid chameleon, maybe they've been ostracized because of their appearances and quirks. In Mandrill's case, he can see that it most likely have something to do with his appearance that looked similar to that of a mandrill while for Nekra, it may have something to do with her pale skin. But for that guy in black straightjacket, Moonfish, he cannot think feel connected or having symphathy like at all since apparently, he is nothing but an insane cannibal, judging from the first and only attack on him that happened earlier. Then, he is snapped out of his thought when Moonfish turned around to face him.
"Flesh..."Said Moonfish and then, he begins to walk toward to where Black Knight is hiding at the moment while the intruder himself is beginning to step backward slowly while his right hand is resting on the Ebony Blade, ready to pull it out just in case.
"You two stay here. I'll go and... take some rest."Said Mandrill as he's walking out of the group, completely failing to noticed that Moonfish is also walking away but in the different direction.
"FLESH!"Yelled Moonfish and then, he unleashed his quirk on the hiding Black Knight, forcing him to come out. Moonfish's enlarged and reshaped teeth ended up destroying a pile of boxes and a part of the floor in the process. However, the attack paid off that Black Knight is now revealed to Mandrill and his group. And when that happened, this got the attention of both Mandrill and Nekra. As soon as they saw the intruder, they quickly throw away the ideas of scolding Moonfish for what he just did and turned their attentions to the tresspassing Black Knight.
"Black Spectre, kill the intruder!"Said Mandrill and with that, Nekra's body begin to glow bloody red as she's beginning to use her quirk to harness the violent emotions within her to empower herself while Moonfish simply opens his mouth and unleashed the enlarged and reshaped teeth on the intruder. Unable to run away in time, he pulls the Ebony Blade out of its scubbard and unleash a crescent-shaped orange energy blade to the incoming white vine-like structures from Moonfish's mouth, destroying them all in one swing, thus causing Moonfish to fall down and scream in pain and agoy as his mouth is spilling blood all over the place.
"AAAAAHHHHH"Screamed Moonfish as he's screaming very loud while blood is spilling out from his mouth because Black Knight has chopped out his enlarged and reshaped teeth earlier. Upon seeing this and that Nekra is still empowering herself at the moment, Mandrill activates his quirk and order all women who are under his mind control to attack Black Knight. The blue-haired girl in U.A's uniform then raise her hands and unlease two waves of yellow energies from her hands to Black Knight. However, he managed to absorb it so easily by using the Ebony Blade. Once that is done, he takes a look at the weapon for a while.
"Wait! It can-"Said Black Knight and suddenly, he is pinned down to the ground by Mount Lady, whose breasts are pressing against his chest. This makes Black Knight blushed furiously because of the feeling of being pressed by Mount Lady's chest.
"Apology in advance!"Said Black Knight and then, he grabs her shoulders and kick her in the stomach, thus forcing her to let him go. He then turned around to confront the other young women and teenage girls under the mind control of Mandrill, who are running toward him with their quirks activated. One of them unleash her icy breath to him. However, Black Knight managed to deflect it back to her, thus nearly hit her in the head in the process. The other one managed to reach him and attempt to slash him with her tiger-like claws. However, he blocked her with his sword and kick her away. But suddenly, they all begin withdraw out of the blue. And that confused Black Knight greatly.
"Huh?"Asked Black Knight and suddenly, Nekra suddenly appears behind him and kick to where Mandrill is standing. Once he landed in front of the mandrill-faced villain, Mandrill kneels down to look at him in the face.
"Did you really think a nameless vigilante like you can take us, the Black Spectre, down?"Asked Mandrill
"I heard what you and your sister were saying earlier. I understand you. I know what it feels like to be ostracized and rejected by the society."Said Black Knight
"Then you know why are we doing this! My father drove me out of the house because of my appearance while my sworn sister over there were loathed by her parents for being born as an albino!"Said Mandrill
"Then how about I propose an alliance between your group and mine? We can work together to change this corrupted Hero Society for the better!"Said Black Knight and upon hearing that, Mandrill feels interested and tempted.
"You have my interest, boy."Said Mandrill as he's taking a few steps back and allow the young knight to get up on his own.
"So far, my group, the League of Villains, is recruiting more people for an attack on a hero school called U.A. If we can showed it to the world that one of the best hero schools in Japan cannot defend itself from the villains' attack, the public's faith in the heroes will begin to crumble."Said Izuku, telling him what Shigaraki told him a day after he joined the League of Villains.
"Sounds like a good plan. But I believe mine is better. Would you like to hear it?"Asked Mandrill
"I'm all ears."Said Black Knight
"With my quirk, MCP, abbrivated for Mind Control via Pheromones, allow me to control minds of the women who came into contact with it. And with pro-heroes like Mount Lady and a student from U.A like that blue-haired girl over there under my control, I can command all female pro-heroes to attack everyone in the city, thus turning the public against the heroes while ruining their images by turning them into villains instead."Said Mandrill
"Sounds like a great plan. I think my leader will like it for sure."Said Black Knight
"But that's not just it."Said Mandrill as he's beginning to smile in a creepy way.
"Do you have another plan in mind?"Asked Mandrill
"I do not intend only to turn them into villains in the eyes of the public. I'm also planning to ruin their images as well! And the best way to do that is showing the public the videos about them being raped by me!"Said Mandrill and when he said that, Black Knight's eye twitched.
"Did you just say you're planning to rape them and post the videos about them being raped by you online?!"Asked Black Knight, beginning not to like Mandrill's plan at all.
"Think about it! All female pro-heroes are not only being called out as the villains but also be shown to the world as the weak-willed harlots who've been raped by a villain! With these two factors, the Hero Society will crumbled because the public itself lost faith in them!"Said Mandrill as Black Knight is looking at him in anger and disgust. Sure, he wanted to bring the Hero Society down too but not like this! Not by breaking those female pro-heroes' minds and turned them into a villain's personal sexual objects! While he has no problem related to mind controlling the heroes into acting against the public, the idea of turning the female pro-heroes into the personal sexual objects greatly disturbing and absolutely disgusting to him. With his mind made up, he knows what he have to say about this.
"No offense but... it seemed I have to withdraw the proposal for an alliance between the League of Villains and the Black Spectre."Said Black Knight and then, he turned around and heading toward to Mount Lady, who is now standing up and stand still like a statue along with the other young women and teenage girls, with the intention of taking her and the others out of here. But before, he will reached her, Nekra suddenly appears in front of him and kick him in the stomach with her right knee, preventing him from getting to her while also making him kneel down in front of her.
"I'm sorry. But we cannot allow you to take them away. Our plan required them to remain here with us."Said Nekra as she's looking down on Black Knight, who is getting up. Having no other choice, he immediately draws the Ebony Blade and slash at her. However, she immediately uses her super speed, which she acquired by being empowered by her own emotions, to escape and come to stand beside Mandrill. And this leaving Black Knight's path to Mount Lady opened. Not liking this, Mandrill commands all women who are under his mind control to attack him.
"Take him down!"Said Mandrill and with that, all young women and teenage girls rushed out to fight the young knight. Seeing no other choice, Black knight called for backup from his mount.
"ARAGORN! TO ME!"Yelled Black Knight and suddenly, everyone heard the sound of window is being broken and a white winged horse then fly down very fast to find his rider. Once there, the Black Knight jumps on to his mount's back. Then, he turned around and fire yellow energy blast from his sword to the women down below. But the blue-haired girl shoots the yellow blast waves to him. And when both types of energy waves clashed, it created a powerful electrified shockwave that exploded the entire warehouse!
"BOOM!"
The shockwave, while it didn't destroy the infastructure, it completely destroyed all windows and many boxes in the warehouse and also created a fog as well. But more importantly, it negates the effects of Mandrill's pheromones on his victims. As the young women and teenage girls who are Mandrill's victims are getting up, their eyes are no longer glowing yellow. That means they all have come back to their senses. Once the fog is beinning to die down, they begin to look around and found Moonfish, who is still lying on the ground in pain because Black Knight chopped some his teeth off when he was using his quirk, although he is no longer screaming. Suddenly, they begin to hear the flapping sounds from above. So they looked up and see Aragorn is descending down to the ground with his rider, Black Knight, on his back. As soon as they landed, Mount Lady immediately walks out and ask him some questions.
"Alright! What is going on here?! How did I get here?! Who are you?! And why does that horse have wings?!"Asked Mount Lady but before he could answer her, Nekra suddenly runs out from the fading fog and to punch Black Knight. However, Aragorn simply turned around and kick her with his hind legs, sending her flying to the wall and knock her ouf cold.
"You will pay for ruining our plan!"Said Nekra as Mandrill is walking out of the fog after her while also touching his left ribs with his right hand. When they heard that, most of his former victims quickly run out of the warehouse.
"As for you ladies, you all will be mine once again!"Said Mandrill as he's beginning to activate his quirk. But before his pheromones could be released, the blue-haired girl shoots a pair of yellow waves suddenly clashed into his body and sending him to fly hit the wall, knocking him out cold. With all three villains are now defeated, Mount Lady turned her attention to Black Knight and his horse.
"Now, speak up! Who are you?!"Asked Mount Lady as she's walking toward him and Aragorn. However, Aragorn spreads his wings and fly into the air.
"The name is Black Knight. Remember it as the name that saved you all from the Black Spectre."Said Black Knight as he's riding Aragorn through the broken window and into the sky. Frustrated, Mount Lady activates her quirk and grow gigantic. But when she pierced through the warehouse's roof by her size, she cannot find him anywhere else in her sight no matter which direction she turned her head to. Sometime later, the cops arrived after one of Mandrill's victims called the police and they have all three villains arrested while the victims are being escorted back to their houses while Mount Lady is staying behind to have interviews with the news reporters about what happened here earlier. One of the victims who is the blue-haired girl from U.A named Nejire Hado, however, insisted that she is willing to go back on her own. On her way back to U.A, she cannot help but think how much cool Black Knight is despite that he is a vigilante, thus beginning to have a crush on him in the process.
"He's so cool! His armor, his cape, his sword and his horse! And from the look of it, he's at least a few years younger than me! And the way he simply had his horse turned around and kick that villain in the face is so awesome! He must be quite an awesome horseman for sure to be able to do that!"Thought Nejire as she's thinking about Black Knight and how cool he is as a great horseman. Oblivious to the fact that today is actually his first day on horseback. But of course, that didn't stop her to keep thinking about while also developing a crush on him in the process.
Later in the evening, at the Bar with No Name...
"Hey, kid. Care to explain this?"Asked Tomura as he's showing the news on his smartphone about two incidents related to a group called the Black Spectre to Izuku, who has just entered the bar and is no longer in his Black Knight's identity at the moment. In the news, Mount Lady is being interviewed by many news reporters about the second incident related to the Black Spectre.
"Mount Lady, who is this Black Knight that rescued you and the other victims from the villains?"Asked Male News Reporter
"This is the first time I saw him. So I do not know much. But the other heroes and I can assure you all that he will be arrested like the other vigilantes who broke the laws!"Said Mount Lady and then, the news ended when Shigaraki presses pause and turn his attention back to Izuku, whose face shows no emotions at all.
"So tell me, kid. What's up with that?"Asked Tomura
"Just because I decided to become a villain doesn't mean I should become a heartless murderer with no regards to lives of others, Shigaraki."Said Izuku as he's sitting down near him at the bar. Then, Kurogiri walks up and offer him a glass of iced tea, which he kindly takes and begin to drink. And of course, he cannot brush the thought about him seeing Mount Lady somewhere else before but not as Mount Lady out of his head despite that she said she is going to bring him in.
Meanwhile, in an old mansion in Queens, New York...
"Interesting. Interesting indeed."Said Hooded Figure as he is watching the news about the arrests of a group of villains called the Black Spectre on TV.
"Let's see if we can bring this Black Spectre group to our cause, the Order of the Hood."Said Hooded Figure
Author's note: I know that it is weird that Izuku used his villain's identity to save people's lives. But hear me out first, okay! The purpose of this is to shock them and the rest of their class later during the U.S.J Arc. And I know that it's just Mount Lady and Nejire in this chapter. But hey, this is like 10 months before they will become students at U.A. So that means at this moment in time, they're most likely still at their old schools in their hometowns. So I have no choice but to bring Mount Lady and Nejire into the picture early. But back to the topic, those who have been saved by him before they will become the students at U.A will have the opinions different from those who know him for the first time when he accompanied the rest of the League of Villains to attack them during the U.S.J Incident. Of course, that's an out-of-universe's answer. The in-universe's answer is the fact that his mother has filed the case to the police about him suddenly disappeared. So to avoid being seen by the police officers and the pro-heroes alike, he has no choice but to use the mantle of Black Knight to save the lives of the others. Plus, Stain used to be a vigilante before decided to become a villain to purge the false heroes from the society. Speaking of Stain, he shall appear soon as one of Izuku's mentors. After all, who's going to teach him the art of swordsmanship? And this is one of the reasons why I decided to do a chapter about Izuku has to proven himself to Aragorn first. Not only to give him a mount but also to make him know that he clearly needs someone to teach him how to use a sword in combat so that he can face his "old friend", Katsuki Bakugo, during the U.S.J Arc. But I know you guys must be wondering why he defeated Muscular so easily while having trouble in fighting against the Black Spectre? Well, that's because when he was fighting Muscular, it's just a duel. And since it is a one-on-one fight with his opponent is nothing but an overconfident hot-headed sadistic brute, Izuku doesn't have to do much. And I know that you guys must have been wondering why I didn't have Mandrill and Nekra join the League of Villains despite being the people rejected by the society because of their own appearances but having them appeared as enemies to Izuku instead. Well, it's the same reason why I don't like seeing Muscular and Moonfish being part of the League of Villains in the first place and that has something to do with Mandrill himself is shamelessly caring about himself being a serial rapist rather than doing something to change the society. Well, he did care about that in the prime universe but that seemed not to be the case anymore. As for Nekra, she just happened to be his sworn sister, that's all. And yes, I know that the releationship between Mandrill and Nekra basically mirrored that of Twice and Toga but unlike Twice, Mandrill is a serial rapist and that alone is the reason good enough to me for why I don't wanted him in the League. And with Nekra is most likely not going to abandon her sworn brother anytime, I found it doubtful that she is going to join the League too. And it is also because their relationship mirrored that of Toga and Twice is the reason why Nekra is most likely going to remain by Mandrill's side instead of abandoning him for the League of Villains. To simplify this, Nekra doesn't trust anyone else but her sworn brother, Mandrill. As for where Li Lanying is, she is in seclusion at the moment and most likely not going to come out until she broke through to another realm of cultivation. Also, I was originally not going to have Aragorn accept Izuku just because he defeated Muscular. No, I was planning to have him accepted Izuku during the fight with the Black Spectre. However, the situation forced me to have Aragorn accepted him after he saved Kamui Woods, Edgeshot and everyone from Muscular by defeating him. So let me know what do you guys think of this. Should I find a way to somehow retcon this and have Aragorn accepted Izuku during the battle against the Black Spectre or just let him accepted Izuku after he defeated Muscular? You guys tell me. Also, I hope you all like Stan Lee's cameo here. And since he is running a hot dog's restaurant here, he might get to appear more often as a minor character. But we may never know that. Yes, even I do not know if that is possible or not.
Questions, reviews, suggests, comments, requests and PMs to me would be appreciate.
TheGreatGodzilla's out, see you guys next time!
